Easter Week

4/14/2025

Dear MBCA Families,

While we hail from many denominations and traditions in churches all around our region, we all recognize the life-changing importance of this week -- Holy Week. The commemoration of the last week of Jesus’ life, culminating in the resurrection, is something we incorporate into many facets of our education here at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy – and here are a few examples:

We’ll have a faculty-led Easter service as well as a Maundy Thursday service commemorating the Last Supper.
Leading up to this week, our Middle and Upper School Bible classes dug into apologetics, exploring the evidence for the resurrection, as well as studying the Book of Romans and John, watching Bible Project videos about the crucifixion and resurrection, and journaling about the experience.
Other students will create a “digital storyboard” presenting the story from Passover to Jesus' ascension.
Our younger students will see the connection between the fun traditions and the true meaning of Easter with activities like a “Resurrection Egg Hunt” with Easter eggs that contain materials that represent the progression of Holy Week, and students work together to assemble the verses in order of events.
In world languages, students learn not only how to express Holy Week concepts in other languages but learn about the cultural celebrations surrounding Easter in other parts of the world.

This Friday, as we take the day off school, I will once again watch this excerpt from one of the most powerful messages I’ve ever heard, and I’d love to share this impactful 3-minute message with you, set to visuals and music: It’s Friday, but Sunday’s Comin’.

Whatever your traditions are this week, we at MBCA wish you and your family a meaningful time of reflection and celebration of the most pivotal week in human history!

Blessings,

Jim
